What Were the Main Threats to Free Speech in 2022 and What Will They Be in 2023?

by Toby Young
29 December 2022 7:00 PM

I recorded an episode of the Brendan O’Neill Show just before Christmas which has just appeared. Brendan and I looked back at the main threats to free speech this year and looked ahead to what they’re likely to be in 2023 – such as a the emergence of a Chinese-style social credit system in the West. You can watch the podcast on YouTube here.

What do Tesco & Sainsbury’s say? Bravo Asda and Morrisons – reading the runes correctly… Sstarmer is f#£@king toast.

Crafty Asda and Morrisons seeking to defuse potential distribution centre-blockades.

A few muckspreaders down Whitehall would up the ante.

The problem with this policy, nominally being pushed by Kneel and Thieves is that he has promised all the farm land to the likes of Billy and Larry so he’s not in a position to back down.

Zelensky promised much of Ukraine to that motley crue.

I wonder how much ASDA paid farmers for all that veg they were selling at 8p pre-Xmas?

ASDA were selling veg at 8p (per what?): perhaps it was a loss-leader.

Or perhaps there was an oversupply so prices – that important market mechanism associated with supply and demand which is a complete mystery to most of the population – reflected this, and farmers got what the market dictated – and half a sixpence is better than no sixpence.

I know this will come as a real shock to many, but it is consumers who determine selling prices, and consumers also determine which products/businesses are successful, and consumers determine how many are employed and what is sold in an economy. (This assumes Government hasn’t got its beak and sticky fingers in the market.)

I hope it was a loss leader, but farmer-supermarket relations in this country have a very mixed history, to say the least. While it may be welcome that big supermarkets come out against this tax measure, perhaps the supermarkets have decided this is a ‘popular’ stance they can take at no cost to themselves.

Although I welcome any support for the farmers, I was thinking exactly the same thing. And more difficult for supermarkets to negotiate low prices with super farms than small farms? Too cynical? Overthinking maybe?
